As the sun peeks over the horizon in Tuscaloosa, AL, I’m already up and ready to tackle another day as an HVAC technician at Farley & Hysaw. After a quick breakfast and a strong cup of coffee, I hop into my service van, fully stocked with tools and parts for the day ahead.
My first stop takes me to a new residential development in Northport, AL. Today’s task is to install a central air conditioning system in a newly constructed home. It’s a big job that requires precision and attention to detail. From mounting the outdoor unit to connecting the ductwork, every step is crucial for optimal performance.
Just as I’m wrapping up the installation, I receive an urgent call from our dispatcher. A homeowner in Cottondale, AL is experiencing a complete AC breakdown in the middle of a scorching summer day. I quickly gather my diagnostic tools and head over to assess the situation.
After a thorough inspection, I identify a faulty capacitor as the culprit. Luckily, I have the replacement part in my van, and within an hour, the AC is up and running again, much to the relief of the grateful homeowner.
The afternoon takes me to Duncanville, AL for a scheduled HVAC maintenance appointment. Regular check-ups are essential for keeping systems running efficiently and preventing costly breakdowns. I clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure all components are functioning correctly.
My final stop of the day is in Fosters, AL, where a customer has reported strange noises coming from their air conditioner. Upon inspection, I discover a loose fan blade. A quick tightening resolves the issue, and I take the opportunity to perform a general service to ensure everything else is in working order.
As the sun sets, I make my way back to our Moundville, AL office. I update the day’s work orders, restock my van for tomorrow, and touch base with my supervisor about the day’s activities.
Being an HVAC technician at Farley & Hysaw is never dull. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to help our customers stay comfortable in their homes and businesses across the Tuscaloosa area. It’s hard work, but the satisfaction of solving problems and the gratitude from our clients make it all worthwhile.
